THAT POSTOFFICE.
Why a Republican Was Reap
pointed at Prairie du Chen.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-POstmaster
General Villas declines to be interviewed
OH the Prairie du Chen matter farther
than to say: Il have nothing to do with
appointments made by the president.
The postmaster was reappointed, so far
as l know, because he was good man
with splendid record as postmaster.
He was a grand good soldier i'll the Iron
brigade and lost leg in the war. He
was backed by the best men of both
parties. / know nothing about the mat
ter beyond that" Other sources of infor-
formation, open to the GLOBE, develOpe
the fact that the postmaster was recon-
mended by Gen. Bragg, the old COM
mander of the Iron brigade. Usher, the
chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic
committee, Gov. Woodward, and, above
all, urgently by Lawler, of Prairie du
Chen. Lawler is the great Democratic
leader, and his word is accepted by all
the departments at Washington. The
inside history cleaned at the White
house shows the fact that the president
acted wholly himself. Editor Merrill,
the principal Democratic aspirant for
the office, has been persistent enemy
of the administration and has abused
Cleveland's policy from the beginning.
He derided the civil service policy of the
president, ridiculed Cleveland, hoped he
never would be renominated, and made
insulting and grievous illusions and
published venOmous thrusts at Cleve-
land. The president knew the facts,
and regarded the application of Merrill
as cheeky and full of gall. The man
had no business to apply for the posi-
ton and ought to have known better.
The postmaster was an old soldier,
recommended by all the leading busi-
ness men of both parties at Praire du
Chen. Merrill was strongly and bitterly
opposed by the leading Democrats
throughout Wisconsin. The letters in
the case were seen and show that he
was opposed by the best element of both
parties. The appointment clerk says
Villas was utterly Indifferent in the
matter, which was wholly determined
on by the president himself. Villas
sympathies are believed to be with the
old soldier, but he took no action, leav-
ing the president unintfuenced to act as
he pleased.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Judge Mae
Donald is at work and taking care of the
old soldiers. He is successful, as usual.
James K Stone, of East Granite Falls,
Chippewa county, a Union veteran, is
appointed agent of the land Office on
timber depredations, a special favor to
Macdonald, as it is the only vacancy of
the kind in the department. Col. Will

Paddy Mcdonald Knocks Out
Manning at Duluth.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 2O.-About 500
people assembled in the ParlOr rink this
evening to witness the eight-round glove
fight between Tom Manning, of st.
Paul; and Paddy Mcdonald, of Duluth.
Prof. Sam Matthews was referee, and
the seconds were Paddy Norton and j.
w. Curtis for Manning, and Charles
Gleason and Prof. Whitney for Nc
Donald. Manning was no good, and
lost the fight in the first round, but Nc
Donald said: "Give him another chance;
l don't want any dispute" Manning
was badly used up on the first round,
and fell an easy victim to Mcdonald in
the second round in l minute and II
seconds.
First Round-At the call of ''time'' the
men sprang promptly to the center,
Manning making slight feint with his
right and received swinging left
handler on the body in return from Nc
Donald, who followed the first blow up
with disastrous upper cut with the
left which fioored Manning. Mcdonald
went to his corner and Manning rose
and rushed at Mcdonald hitting him
lightly on the neck. Paddy retaliated

close of the match Mcdonald picked
Manning up and carried him to his cor

Oshkosh Defeats La Crosse in a
Close Game.

Special to the Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, May 20.-The game
to-day between Oshkosh and La Crosse
was the hardest fought of any played in
this city. The visitors scored one in the
first, and seven times thereafter were
retired without run, the home team
meantime getting four. Although Pyle
pitched yesterday the visitors could not
hit him effectively till the ninth, when
they went in for all in sight.
In that inning Shafer led off with clean
base hit. O'Connell hit slow grounder
to the pitcher, who threw to Corbett at
second, who muffed it, thus failing to
make the easiest kind of double, and
losing the game. Ellis followed with a
three-bagger, which brought in Shafer
and O'Connell. Burns grounded out to
pitcher, and Hoy flew out to left. Doran
knocked out twO-bagger and Ellis
scored, tieing the score. The home
team was easily retired. In
the tenth Roche made two
Dagger, Shafer sent hot grounder
which Crowley got but the pitcher, who
covered first base muffed his throw.
Roche ran in and Oshkosh had won.
But for the unfortunate error of Corbett
in the ninth and Meinke's muff of a
pretty pop up in the first, Oshkosh
would have been shut out, which is say
ing everything necessary for La Crosses
play. Score:

A SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
The Principal the Head of Noble
French Family


NEW YORK, May 20.-A dispatch from
Boston yesterday said: An unknown
Frenchman in high state of excitement
and only partly dressed, boarded the
outgOwing New York train, saying his
daughter was on board running away
with man. He found his daughter in
company with an elderly woman. She
refused to go with him, and he threw
himself beneath the wheels while the
train was going fifty miles an hour and
was instantly killed. His identity was
unknown. The matter was investigated
by reporters here to-day and the girl
and her friends found. They say the
suicide is known in Boston as a music
teacher under the name of Auguste de
Sempe, but that he is in reality the
Count de la Tourasse, a member
of an old and noble family:
that he was notary and
sion for gambling, and fled to this coun-
try, defaulter for very large sum:
that he lived here with woman not his
wife, who died two years ago leaving
two children, and that he sent to France
for his daughter, Marie, one of large
family left by him there. She, after
her arrival, learned of his wrong doing,
and on that account, and, it is intimated,
on account of his demeanor toward her,
she consulted priest, and, under his
imperative advice, decided to leave him
and return to France. 1t was in execu-
ton of this design that she left for New
York yesterday. She is here now with
friends, and will soon be sent back to
her family. The following dispatch re-
garding the matter was received by the
Associated Press from Boston,: 1.-THE
verifcation of the story regarding the
social standing of the Marquis de la
Tourasse, the defaulting notary, whose
crime and suicide have been published,
has been found. The story
surprise to his countrymen,
in this city who never connected the
poverty-stricken Auguste de Sempe with
the noble family of de Sorbiers de la
Tourasse. The fugitive whose death is
chronicled was Polimnis Marie Charles
Louis Amedee de Sorbiers de la Tour
asse. He was the oldest son of Francois
de Sorbiers de la Tourasse, of the
castle of Saint Pierre de la Tourasse.
Francais had two children, Palimnis and
Jean Omer. Polimnis was notary and
member of several prominent learned
societies. Jean Omer, was a collector
of direct taxes in Mende, capital of
Lozere, a province in the South of
France. Polimnis had five children,
Lionet, Asabell, Bernard, Joseph and
Marie Therese. There is still Younger
branch of the family whose head is Will
lam Chevalier atValence and Toulouse.
The family is known as far back as
1910, when the name was. adopted by
Ganelon de Segbiers, chevalier.
